The bottom line is that the news media supports progressive Democrats, so its practitioners are not anxious to press their candidates when they decline to answer questions in the service of crafting the news stories. That’s why it’s entirely natural for Rhode Island General Treasurer to hold a press conference announcing his expected run for…
In an all-too-familiar sequence of events, progressives made social media noise to shame a politician with whom they disagreed — in this case, Providence City Councilman Nicholas Narducci, who helped the city clean up a homeless encampment under a Rt. 146 overpass — and the news media jumped right in to tow their line, framing…
The details of the U.S. drone strike on a humanitarian worker in Afghanistan are horrific: The U.S. acknowledged reports of civilian casualties and said they may have been caused by secondary explosions. The family said when the 37-year-old Zemerai, alone in his car, pulled up to the house, he honked his horn. His 11-year-old son…
Let’s be blunt about it: the January 6 protesters being treated so poorly are political prisoners. In the United States. Reverse the parties, and we’d be hearing nonstop mainstream media proclamations about how Biden is “literally Hitler.” The government is actually arguing that stay-at-home-parents are more of a terrorist threat!
When Ray Rickman mentioned his support for progressive wealth redistribution during his State of the State conversation with Mike Stenhouse, Sten didn’t want to redirect the conversation into that debate, only mentioning (because he couldn’t not say anything, of course) that the big question is who the angels are to decide when enough is enough.

Dan McKee over his statewide school mask mandate. The complaint, filed in Providence Superior…
Once again, Andrew Bostom overstates his case on COVID, but making an attempt to come up with better estimates raises the question of why government is responding with the heavy hand that it’s using.
Michael Morse tells a cute story about how he used his one phone call from prison to explain to his future wife why he had missed their date. Before going on read how he tells it and come back. Here’s the summary with the key details for this post. Morse was racially profiled as some…
Months to get a car part. No juice boxes at the super market. Computer prices shooting up. Paper towels disappearing from BJ’s. And now simple bloodwork has to be scheduled weeks in advance. Any chance I’d feel like the only person observing these phenomena if there were a Republican in the White House?
Literally. Here’s the headline of an interview they did with Jacobin, an explicitly socialist magazine: “Socialist Legislators Are Taking on Rhode Island’s Ultraconservative Democrats.” It shows you how frighteningly radical these people are that they say, apparently with a straight face, that Rhode Island’s leading Democrats are “ultraconservative.” Naturally, this is standard language for Bell, who…
